Protection of journalists

After numerous wars and clear assaults, and in response to an urgent need, the “Filastiniyat” institution has worked on providing self-care for male/female journalists through a comprehensive program that examines their psychological needs. This program provides emotional relief and care sessions, followed by individual care for the most vulnerable journalists. Additionally, it provides a self-care guide for those targeted by the program as well as for those who have not been reached.

Because self-support exceeds the personal needs of journalists to create a safe working environment, the "Filastiniyat" institution believes that the first protective square for journalists begins with the media community adopting the best journalistic practices that maintain and develop the ethics of the profession. “Filastiniyat” also focuses on providing specialized workshops and training about journalistic ethics, best practices, and professional safety for both male and female media workers.

In 2024, the “Filastiniyat” institution launched a fund to protect journalists to empower those who have suffered from job loss due to violations related to their journalistic work.
